Fights in which you KNEW the underdog would win.

Morales over Pacquiao I
Hopkins over Pavlik
Cotto over Margarito 2

Morales must have been favourite against Manny?

nope Morales was coming off his "loss" to Barrera in their 3rd fight, and Pacquiao was coming off his previous wins against Barrera, 3k Battery, and his draw against JMM, Morales pulling off the win was considered an upset at the time

[C.J.Rock]

I picked Margarito to beat Cotto, Hopkins to beat Tito, Cook to beat Arthur and on a much smaller scale I remember people were raving about Bradley Pryce getting a world title shot and I told my friends Matthew Hall would destroy him and knock him out.

I got ridiculed for picking ....


Margarito over Cotto


Ike Ibeabuchi over Tua


Lennox Lewis over Razor Ruddick


Bernard Hopkins over Trinidad


Bernard Hopkins over Pavlik


Hearing the apologies was well worth it though

James 'Buster' Douglas over Mike Tyson

BULLSHIT, I do not believe you

[Spicoli]

Some were picked on favoritism and some you just KNEW

Hopkins vs Trinidad. Still scratching my head over how Hopkins was made to sound a afterthought
Simon Brown vs Terry Norris 1..just had that sneaking feeling after initial cancellation
Holyfield vs Tyson 1...still remember some press heads saying they feared for his life
Sorjaturong vs Chiquita Gonzalez
Azumah Nelson vs Jeff Fenech II...regardless of first fight 'draw' still no clue how it was thought an upset.
Frankie Randall vs J.C Chavez I...Randall was just so damn sharp and supremely confident. In another life and minus the demons and vices Randall should have been so much more.
Nigel Benn vs Gerald McClellan...the phenomenal bricks of Jackson aside the G-man had never faced anything close to Benn.
Joseph Agbeko vs Vic The crab
Rafa Ruelas vs Oscar De La Hoya...ok I was wrong there. Terribly wrong and borderline delusional dislike wrong

When Naz defended his world title for the first time, against Said Lawal, I watched it in the pub. That was, I think, in 2001.

I turned around to the whole room, all of whom believed the hype about the Prince, and said that there was a young Mexican called Marco Antonio Barrera who would beat Hamed.

Howls of drunk enough derision ensued .... 5 years later I was proven right

I think one of the most famous ones in the UK was Ryan/Thaxton.

Ryan may have been 22-0 and the champ and this fight was non title and Thaxton was moving up in weight and 3-3 in his six fights previous. But it was well known style wise it was a horrible matchup for Scrap Iron; there was plenty of money on the big underdog, all the rumours about the outcome were even hinted at on TV and two minutes after the first bell Thaxton had duly flattened Ryan...

Can't think of too many massive ones, although Calzaghe - Lacy sticks out.

I knew Tyson Fury would beat Wlad.

You were pretty non-committal till after the event. Then , all of a sudden you turned into a Ross clone.

Same thing

[Primo Carnera]

Ok then.

[SlimTrae]

Not sure if Mosley was an underdog vs Margarito, but the website I was at scorned me for saying Mosley would take away the taller man's inside game and yes ...stop him.

Gatti vs Gomez. The fact that he would choose such an opponent made me loathe to watch it.
